Recent research by the University Hospital Bonn, in collaboration with the University of Bonn, has demonstrated that early signs of age-related macular degeneration can significantly reduce local vision. This breakthrough offers potential for earlier and improved treatments and monitoring of the disease. . Credit: SciTechDaily.
A research team from the UKB Eye Clinic, in cooperation with the University of Bonn and in close collaboration with basic and clinical scientists, has specifically examined patients with early forms of AMD. The researchers focused on the so-called iRORA lesions, which are very early anatomical signs of retinal damage.

WinklerA high-resolution research instrument developed in Bonn, known as an adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscope , helps out. “It enables imaging of the retina with microscopic resolution and allows functional testing of small areas down to individual photoreceptors,” says Dr.
These results illustrate that iRORA lesions already have a significant impact on vision. This early retinal damage could serve as a marker to better monitor the progression of the disease and treat it at an early stage. The results of this study are a further step towards better understanding how the late form of dry AMD develops with the formation of extensive retinal damage.
